Amazon's Kindle 3 has caught everyone's attention. There 2 models available: the Kindle 3G (3G + WiFi) and the Kindle WiFi only.
What is the distinction in the middle of Kindle 3G and WiFi?
The 3 G version comes with two color options: graphite and white. The WiFi is ready in Graphite only. Also, the 3G gives you mobile connectivity anywhere you are and passage in over 100 countries. The WiFi allows passage to the web or the Kindle store, only when you are near a WiFi hotspot.
However, the WiFi has a major advantage: its price. It ready at the ridiculously low price of 9, which means that it's 50 dollars cheaper than the 3G and it offers approximately the same features.
Some of the coarse features of the Kindle 3G and the WiFi:
Pdf files can be viewed at their actual size or with a zoom of 150%, 200% and 300%. You can also naturally adjust the file to the width of the screen. The distinction can also be adjusted for a good reading experience.
You have the ability to turn the font size and type, the distance of the lines and the characters, but you can not use your own font types unless you unlock the device.
You can set bookmarks, highlights, keep notes, and crusade the text (the crusade function is not potential in Pdfs, because they are scanned as images). There are two built-in dictionaries for American and British English.
Instead of a page number, there are locations. You can browse through the table of contents, the transition to location, the return to old location and of course, you can use the buttons for the next and old page that are on both sides of the device.
You can use the free applications in case,granted by Amazon to read the e-books at your Pc, iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, BlackBerry, Android mobile and tablet Pc by syncing the bookmarks and notes to your Kindle (it requires Internet connection).
Kindle is ready in graphite and white, with the same technical characteristics.
The warranty is for 1 year. The extended warranty is for 2 years, but only applies to the United States.
Accessories:
With this gismo you get the Usb cable needed to associate to a computer, but you do not get any case for the device. However, it is not very safe to carry the equipment unprotected. Another disadvantage is that the charger that comes with the gismo does not withhold the voltage in Europe. So, if you live in Europe you will have to charge the gismo only through your computer (fortunately the battery lasts for about a month). You can also pick to buy an adapter for European sockets from Amazon at a very low cost.
